Kind: Reposts

So lemme get this straight.

1. Lorie Smith, owner of 303 Creative, doesn’t actually design websites. Her company doesn’t actually provide that service.
2. Stewart (last name withheld) didn’t ask for a wedding site for him and his husband from her.
3. Stewart isn’t gay. He’s married to a woman and they have a kid together.
4. AND what could possibly be the most ironic occupation for Stewart to have? He’s a web designer.

You can’t make this shit up. Or I guess you can. Because Lorie and the Supreme Court did.

It makes me so sad that so many #disabled people take on society’s view of them as deficient, shameful, and deprived. We internalize and individualize systemic #ableism and then blame ourselves for our misery.

It just shows how badly a #DisabilityPrideMonth is needed…

I’m sad for my younger self because I grew up thinking the same way. And indeed even my current self: I’m not totally free of internalized ableism, probably never will be. But at least now I have a better chance of spotting it.

Here’s a huge hug for anyone that needs it. Unconditional self-love doesn’t mean you don’t see your flaws. It means you love yourself anyways.✨✨✨✨

Lol @ all of the people who won’t be able to use black people as an excuse as to why they didn’t get into their college of choice anymore.

If you ever go to someone’s house for dinner and they keep bragging about how sturdy the dining table is, chances are 99.9% that they got freaky on it.

This is amazing. Rick Astley has taken it on himself to start covering The Smiths songs because Morrissey is such an unholy piece of shit, and not only is it not bad it’s good and also wholesome.

This is great because Morrissey let a lot of people down. And Rick Astley, well, he would never . . .

I AM ABSOLUTELY BEGGING Y’ALL.

If you are bringing back personal/hobby/small-business websites (and you should be), enable RSS.

And TLS, but that’s a whole other thing.

The real reason that online-only conferences won’t be allowed to work is because the argument about whether or not online-only conferences can work is a convenient proxy battle for the people who believe their subsidized-travel job perk is more important than the accessibility of their field and the health and safety of its marginalized participants, and who _really_ want to avoid saying so out loud.

Me filling in a grading form 10 years ago: enters text into PDF, save and submit

Me filling in a grading form today: opens PDF into Adobe Acrobat, all bullet points are now on the far left hand side, two areas for signatures are greyed out with radiation symbols. I click on a drop down menu to select the specialization, the lights flicker and turn off, a subsonic whoomph is heard in the distance, car alarms plaintively start bleeping-

The climate deniers who claim that climate scientists are in it for the grant money should be forced to write and submit 10 grants.gov proposals as punishment.
